KNOW Students will know

- how to use a graphic organizer in connection with main idea.
ABLE TO DO Students will be able to identify the main idea in different texts (ex.: newspaper article), and to use main idea related graphic organizers.
Instructional Strategies
I will explain how to identify the main idea and supporting details in a text by using various methods, for example, I will show the video from the video sample resource because the best way to understand this concept is by having both visual and auditive input of an example (or several examples).
Assessment Strategies
Students are assessed on main idea all through the year. As we read the short stories we discuss the main idea.
